ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different solvent extracts of soft tissue extracts of Turbinella pyrum against five fungal strains viz Fusiarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, Candida albicans and Mucor sp. The antifungal activity of the sample was tested by disc diffusion technique using PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) medium. The highest inhibition zones were developed by methanol extract against all the tested fungal strains and lowest activity was observed in ethanol extract against all fungal pathogens. The crude solvents of the marine gastropod T.pyrum were found to be promising source of antifungal agents and exhibits remarkable activity against all the 5 fungal strains.
